Problem in using shared variables URGENT

[manjyo]

hi
i m facing a problem in sharing the values between a main report and subreport. i m creating a shared boolean variable in the main report header and resetting the value in the page header section of the main report to true. i put the sub report in the detail section of the main report and calling it according to some condition. in the sub report i m having one group with two sections. and the group heade will repeat in each page. in the section a(group) of the sub report i m checking the value of the shared variable from main report and in the section b i m setting it as false. but when i run the report in the sub report section a its taking only the false value. ie its not setting it in the page header of the main report.

thanks in advance

Do you have "whileprintingrecords;" in the line before you
declare the variable?

Something like this:
{Pageheader}
whileprintingrecords;
shared BooleanVar FlagGood := True;

{subreport section one, formula to display}
whileprintingrecords;
shared BooleanVar FlagGood; //just shows FlagGood.

{subreport section two, formula to reset}
whileprintingrecords;
shared BooleanVar FlagGood:= False;

Why are you resetting the value in the page header of the main?

Place it in the report header of the main, if you need it reset at a different granularity in the main, you should have a group header.

The question is: When do you want the Boolean shared variable reset?? After each running of the subreport??
As it stands it is resetting only after a new page.

If you want it reset after the running of the subreport, create a subsection after the subreport (suppress the subsection) and place your reset formula there.
